The Four Moods of Stalking

[serloco]

I do not like to hold to Latin origin definitions and prefer to embrace the totality of language and what our own language has evolved into. With our expanding intellects, our expanding awareness language grows to keep up with these expanding perceptions. Sure Latin origin and any origin of our language is interesting indeed but fail to cover how our language has grown. For example having compassion for your friends pain does not mean you are suffering with him but merely understanding his suffering and you have empathy for him. You need not suffer too, not do you need to feel his pain.. But merely care for his pain and understand it. The word compassion has grown a great deal form the origin upon which it was created. As has out understanding of feelings, and our understanding of a great many things. It suits me, being english and up to date, to rely not solely on ancient linguistics but the totality upon which our language has developed over the many of years.
